Except for the "in-residence" military programs, you must provide us with your official JPME completion letter/diploma for all accredited programs to receive your respective AQD (JPME I - JS7, JPME II - JS8). Send your documentation for all distance learning programs to the appropriate email address below. Do not encrypt your email, it cannot be opened if it is encrypted. Documents are processed daily, however, you will not receive a reply that your email was received.

Your AQD will be entered in the Joint Manpower Information System, and Officer Assignment Information System within 30 days. Your documentation will then be forwarded to PERS-313.

Availability is extremely limited with all in-residence JPME programs. Accordingly, you must work through your detailer (and only your detailer) to obtain a quota.

Per Title 10, Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) must be completed in sequence; Phase I followed by Phase II. Direct Entry Waivers (DEW) are only authorized by the Joint Staff on a strict case by case basis, with a compelling reason for attending Phase II prior to completing Phase I. Additionally, per Title 10, no more than 10 percent of a JPME II class may be attending under a DEW. Accordingly, it is advisable that you begin your joint education as soon as possible. You may enroll through distance learning at the Naval War College as a LT or other junior service colleges as a LCDR. Per NAVADMIN 136/10, completion of JPME Phase I is now a requirement for assuming URL CDR command.

JPME Phase I can be completed either through an "in residence" course or through distance learning. All of the intermediate service colleges offer distance learning and you will find some links below. Distance Learning through the Air University Air Command And Staff College (AU ACSC) is accredited for JPME I, however DISTANCE LEARNING THROUGH THE AIR WAR COLLEGE (the Air Force Senior College) IS NOT ACCREDITED FOR JPME I!!!

JPME Phase II is available for CDRs and CAPTs at National Defense Universities (Joint Forces Staff College - Joint Advanced Warfighting School, Industrial College of the Armed Forces, and National War College) and all of the senior service colleges. These are all "in resident" courses, but be forewarned; because of Title 10 requirements, the NDUs may incur a joint tour obligation upon graduation. If you're interested in attending contact your detailer. If you are already a JQO and attend one of the NDUs you must, by law, go to a JDAL tour upon graduation. OSD waivers are only approved on a strict case by case basis.

The JFSC also offers four, ten week, Phase II classes per year for LCDRs - CAPTs. Attendance is competitive due to limited seating. If you would like to attend please contact your detailer.
